John Oates has filed a first-person declaration defending himself after his longtime music partner and one-half of Hall & Oates, Daryl Hall, has accused him of trying to sell his part of their music rights.“Far from becoming ‘adversarial and aggressive instead of professional and courteous,’ as Daryl has claimed, over the last 50 years I have always devoted my energy to ensuring that both the public and the music industry perceive the Hall & Oates music and brand in the most positive light,” Oates, 75, said in his court documents, obtained by Billboard.Oates claims that the pair “have not seen eye to eye,” but he has presented “opportunities to improve and protect the business and artistic integrity of the partnership.”“In fact, Daryl has become unwilling to work with me to try to protect the marks and other intellectual property that we spent decades building,” he continued to allege.“[Just Hall has] consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group,” he went on,” and “now [I] must act with truthfulness and make decisions that are right for myself, my family, and my artistic future.”On Nov. 16, Hall, 77, and his organization, the Daryl Hall Revocable Trust, filed an initial lawsuit against Oates’ trust, the John W.

Daryl Hall has explained why he is suing John Oates – claiming that he was left “blindsided” by his plan to sell a business stake – while the latter described the claims as “inaccurate”.Daryl Hall wrote a strongly worded statement about Oates’ alleged breach of their business partnership agreement in a declaration filed in Nashville Chancery Court last night (November 29).Obtained by Rolling Stone, the outlet reported that Hall accused his bandmate of making a “completely clandestine and bad faith move” by trying to sell a share of their business without Hall’s consent. It also claims that he was only told about the deal to sell half of Whole Oats Enterprises (WOE) to Primary Wave just two days before he was set to leave on a month-long tour.According to the report, Hall objects to the sale as he disagrees with the “business model” of Primary Wave, and thinks a sale could do “unimaginable” harm to the trademarks, personal name, royalties and online properties of Whole Oats Enterprises.“I was blindsided by this information,” Hall said of the proposed sale.

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Disney CEO Bob Iger focused on instilling employees with renewed optimism about the Mouse House’s “blessed” and “fortunate” state during a virtual company-wide town hall Tuesday, rather than making any proclamations about the company’s future. The event, moderated by ABC News’ David Muir, was held just over a week after the one-year anniversary of Iger’s return to the helm at Disney (Iger hosted a similar town hall exactly a year ago to the day, upon resuming his post last November) following the surprise ousting of Bob Chapek, and on the heels of Disney reporting its most recent quarterly and full-fiscal-year earnings and taking a stumble at the Thanksgiving holiday box office with new animated film “Wish.” When asked by Muir if coming back to the position of CEO has been more challenging than he had anticipated, Iger, who originally ran Disney for 15 years from 2005-2020, said yes. “I knew that there were myriad challenges that I would face coming back,” Iger said.

the Hall & Oates drama continues — with Daryl Hall suing John Oates and getting a restraining order against his longtime partner to block the sale of his share of their publishing royalties to Primary Wave — it’s clear that being in one of music’s biggest duos isn’t always the stuff of making your dreams come true.In fact, being in a duo — as opposed to a band — has been a particularly difficult musical marriage to negotiate throughout pop history. It’s a curse that Hall & Oates managed to avoid for five decades until it even caught up to them deep into their 70s.Here are some other top twosomes who ultimately became out of touch.The Tennessee twosome of Don Everly and his younger brother, Phil, were early rock pioneers in the late ’50s with hits such as “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie” and “All I Have to Do Is Dream.” But all was not as smooth as their harmonies for the brothers.After they both enlisted in the Marines in 1961, they had relatively little success once they were discharged.

Daryl Hall’s lawsuit against music partner John Oates may have shocked fans, but the pair have made it clear through the years that they aren’t best friends — to put it mildly.“John and I are brothers, but we are not creative brothers,” Hall declared during an interview on the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast in December 2022.“We are business partners.
